William Bowles, May 24, 1802. Henrico Co, VA >1820 - William Bowles - 300110-32110 (William and Valencia ) This record would make William and Valencia between 26 and 44, meaning that they were born between 1776 and 1794. The elder children(?) would have been between 16/18 and 25. If William Jr. was born in 1811/12 as indicated in the 1870 census (see below) then he is not this elder male, so you may be right about a son and/or daughter by a previous marriage. However, they could just as easily be younger siblings of the married couple.

Charlie, the family sheet I have on Thomas Phillp Bowles list William as born 1772. That would put him marker 6 not 5 in 1820. Even if marker 5 is correct and he was born 1776, he could have had two sons over 18 by 1811-12, your John and a William who had William Jr. born 1811-12. Not all the land William owned on Beaver Creek was one farm. Some land was at the begining of Beaver Creek which in 1860 became Metcalfe Co. My thoughts for some time were that John Fleming could be a child of William, since John Fleming is related to Elijah, now I'm thinking it is your John Bowles.

William Armstrong Crozier, 1904, presumed first edition. This was a former library book and does have a label inside the front cover, a call number on the spine in gilt, and the name of the library pricked out in small holes, and the accession number stamped. Wine colored cloth covered hardback with gilt printing (cover a little grimy), 6-1/4 x 9-1/2, viii plus 155 pages, the book has the following other known flaws: the title page is close to being separated - all other pages well bound; there are several pages with repaired tears, but otherwise, this 103 year old book is in good condition; the pages are supple, the binding tight, no markings save for those of the library and the condition of the text pages is a pleasant suprise. While there is no table of contents, the book begins with a good study of heraldry in America and those entitled to coat armory. This is followed by a surname alphabetical listing of those entitled - first by surname, state, then the individual person entitled, their city of residence and date, followed by a description of the armes, the crest, and the motto. An example might be: "ABERCROMBIE. Pennsylvania. James Abercrombie, Philadelphia, 1750. (Dundee) Argent, a fesse engrailed gules, between three boars' heads couped azure. CREST: A bee volant ppr. MOTTO: Mens in arduis aequa." Following all the names is an Addenda page; then the Arms of the Thirteen Original States; a Glossary of Heraldic Terms; then a Dictionary of Terms Used in the Registry. Lastly is an explanation of the responsibilities of the association regarding: Record Searching; Coats-of-Arms; Genealogical Printing.

Blue hardback with silver printing, illustrated dustcover - both in very good condition other than a crease to the inside front dustcover flap, and a small errant penmark on the front freepage which almost looks more like a defect in the paper than a pen mark. 6-3/4 x 9-1/2, 440 pages, lovely pen and ink illustrations similar to those found in a Harpers book, some maps, soldier's ditties, nice sized print, index, really in wonderful condition. Per the jacket: "The United States of America had its national unity hammered out in storm - the four tremendous years of the Civil War. Here is Carl Sandburg's story of those years - campaigns and generals, the common soldier in struggle, laughter and daring - politics behind battle lines, clashes of loyalists and malcontents, dark hours on the home front, unbreakable faiths in high and low places. Storm over the Land is taken mainly from the four volumes of Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. Mr. Sandburg has rewritten some sections to form a single volume, with all the mastery of detail which characterized the great biography from which it is taken, and which forms a complelte story. It is a narrative unmatched in dramaatic suspense, because it is our own drama, the storm over our own land." This is a book for the common man as well as the historian that offers interesting, easily read and understandable coverage of a dark time in America's history. There are personal stories as well as war stories and accounts, a book that one could enjoy reading a chapter at night without having to research the next night to see what critical and strategic point must be remembered to understand what is going on.

Hi Coz, Nathaniel Bowe died 1785, his eldest son William Adm his will. My guess is Nathaniel's father was William since he named his first son William. And that Nathaniel would be a son of William and Deborah, and brother to Thomas T. Bowles. Thomas Bowles b.1761 son of Thomas T, named a son Nathaniel V.born 1785, after this Nathaniel and Valentine a brother to Thomas T. his father. Your DNA relation John Bowles born 1777 named a son Hardin Bowles, probably after Hardin Burnley who had died before 1785. Nathaniel Bowe had three sons I know of ; William, John, and Nathaniel. John Bowles b.1777 could be a son of either of these three. Thomas Bowles who married Mary Anderson was a brother to William Bowles who married Deborah. Thomas and Mary Anderson had a son Anderson Bowles who also had sons; William, John, and Nathaniel. John born 1777 could be a son of this group. You will also find a Sarah Bowe listed below with Jno. Jervis, overseer. You will find this group in NC. This is how I see your line; Charles, Valentine, John, Thomas, William, Thomas T., Thomas b.1761, ect.

Yours, Linne ===================================================================== Match: Boles Source: TNFENTRE-L@rootsweb.com From: "Tonya Maddux" <tonyamaddux@comcast.net> Subject: RE: Robert and Jacob Smith Dear J. W. I hope somebody can figure these Smiths out. They are a tricky bunch. Most of the information I have is from pension papers on Jacob Smith. He was in the Civil War, Union, KY 30th Reg., Mounted Infantry. He signed up 11/10/1863 in Monticello, KY and was discharged at Frankfort, KY on 05/18/1865. In 1860, he and his family are found in the Scott County census. Jacob, his mother and three known siblings are also found in the Scott County 1850 census living in the household of Jesse and Elizabeth Crabtree. There is also a Nancy Smith age 64 from VA and a Robert Smith age 70 from VA, along with two Crabtree children. I am not sure of the relationship between all of these people. There are many theories, though. Maybe Jacob and his mother, Margarett, and three of his siblings are with the Crabtrees because they are family. Maybe this old Robert and Nancy are my Robert's parents, or maybe even this Robert is ours and they have messed up on his age. Possibly, Elizabeth Crabtree is a sister to our Robert Smith, father of Jacob. There are so many possibilities but no real proof - yet. I sure hope someone can help us. Another family member of this group of Smiths is Brenda Kerr in Virginia. I am sure many of you will recognize her name. She has put a lot information together on this set of Smiths. Jacob's sister, Eliza Ann Smith Lawson, was her great greart grandma. Their sister, Mahala Samantha Smith, was my great great grandma. I am sure there are relatives galore out there. I can email you a lot of information that Brenda put together if you are interested. It is long and quite informative. She has done a great job on it. She/we have tracked down all kinds of living descendants of this family. Robert and Margaret Smith had eight known living children listed on the pension papers for Jacob Smith. His mother, Margarett Smith was able to file a mother's pension on him because he had no children and his wife died a year before he did. Therefore, Margaret was the only real beneficiary and she tried many times to get a pension after his death. The pension papers are fascinating. Jacob had red hair, blue eyes and was 6 feet tall. The 8 children listed on the pension papers are as follows: 1. Jacob C. Smith b. 05/12/1845, d. 12/04/1899 in Pickett County, TN. -Married to Lucinda Gunter. Buried at Guntertown Cemetery, Pickett County, TN. 2. Eliza Ann Smith Lawson, b. 05/16/1847, d. 04/14/1908 (maybe 1903) - married to Alford Lawson. Buried at Coal Hill Cemetery in Glenmary, Scott County, TN. 3. Francis M. Smith, b. about 1849.-nothing else known for sure 4. Amanda R. (Mandy) Smith Pryor, b. 01/16/1851, d. 05/19/1930 in Pickett County - married to Simeon Overton Pryor. Buried at Reedertown Cemetery, Pickett County, TN. 5. Sarah Jane Smith Bond, b. about 1853, d. 02/24/1930 in Scott County, TN. Married to Perry Bond. Buried at Capitol Hill Cemetery, Scott County, TN. 6. Mahala Samantha Smith, b. 11/11/1856, d. 02/1/1936. Unmarried as far as we know, but had 6 kids nonetheless. Buried at Maupin Cemetery in Clinton County, KY (Static area). 7. Samuel Greer Smith, b. 05/27/1858, d. 12/09/1930, Monroe, Overton County, TN. Married to Samantha Elizabeth Pryor before 1878 in Overton County, TN. Then married Martha Ellen Hull before 1930. Buried at Bethsaida Cemetery, Overton County, TN. 8. Isaac Smith, b. about 1862, KY, d. after 1880. He is only listed in one census. No other information on him. 9. Absolam C. Smith, b. 04/06/1866, TN, d. 12/22/1940. He had a child with Mary Ann Byrd before 1888, had a child with Nancy Boles before 1892. HE married Mary ADeline Stokes before 1902.

NOTE: This lengthy article was abbreviated below as noted by the ellipsis. EXCITING FIRE Hotel Bowles Building Much Danger; Little Loss At 8 o'clock Saturday night the Hotel Bowles block enveloped in smoke, it looked as if Bloomington was to have a disastrous fire. However, energetic work and carefully constructed walls kept the flames within the basement, and in half an hour all danger was over with a real loss of not over $1000 mostly from smoke and water. The fire started in the basement under the post office on North College Avenue, and ignited the coal and miscellaneous matter. For almost an hour the department, assisted by a number of citizens, bravely battled with the threatening flames. It was necessary for the firemen to hastily put holes in the post office floor in five places, and water was poured in volume on the seething furnace below... The hotel office and basement and Penrod's Store in the south room were flooded with water and the contents damaged by smoke. The post office which is in the north room seemed in danger for a time, and streams of water gave the (illegible word) a good drenching. However, (illegible) the basement had been entered by cutting through the floor, it was not until the smoke gave way to steam. The office had just been closed for the day, the safe was carefully locked, and no real damage resulted to the mails... The loss is not heavy--not over $1000--and mostly from smoke and water. It was only the prospects of a great conflagration that was exciting. How the fire originated is a question, but probably from mice or rats lighting a match in the coal and boxes under the post office... =========================================

These regiments rendezvoused at New Albany in the summer of 1846 and Joseph LANE (then Colonel of the Second regiment) was chosen to command the brigade, and Wm. A. BOWLES was promoted to the colonelcy of the Second regiment. The Indiana brigade proceeded down the river to New Orleans, thence across the Gulf of Mexico to Brazos Santiago at the mouth of the Rio Grande. The Second and Third regiments were ordered to join Gen. TAYLOR's forces, then at Monterey. The 1st regiment with other troops remained on the lower Rio Grande to keep open communication with the mouth of the river. I present below a full roster of Capt. Henry DAVIS' company: CO. F.

At the request of some of the descendants of the men who took part in the Mexican War from Lawrence County, which was occurred over half a century ago, the writer of this article has undertaken to lay before the readers of the MAIL, the facts of their service; and especially to compile from the most reliable authority and through personal interviews with men now living who participated in the battle of Buena Vista, the true facts concerning that battle. The reader will bear in mind that ever since that war much unfavorable comment has been indulged in relative to the conduct of the Second Indiana regiment. The persons interviewed are among the most intelligent, truthful and trustworthy survivors of that battle. In the first place, Gen. Zachary TAYLOR's report to the War Department relative to the said regiment, as well as Jefferson DAVIS' report, criticized their action in the severest terms. The officers and privates of both the 2d and 3d regiments, after failing to induce TAYLOR to revise and modify his official report, demanded a Court of Inquiry immediately after the battle. The said Court of Inquiry composed of officers of the various regiments which took part in the battle, concluded their verdict with the following finding, in substance: They acquitted the men and officers of the charge of cowardice, but severely criticized Col. Wm. A. BOWLES, the official Colonel of the regiment but who was not on duty that day, for want of knowledge of military maneuvers, which resulted in the rout and precipitate retreat of the regiment. Gen. TAYLOR refused to sign the report of the Court of Inquiry, justifying his action on the report of Jefferson DAVIS, the Colonel of the Mississippi Rifles. DAVIS' official report to Gen. TAYLOR was in the following words relative to the 2d Indiana: "At a critical moment in the action in the afternoon of the 23d, the 2d Indiana regiment ingloriously fled and took no further part in the action, excepting a handful, who under the gallant Colonel BOWLES, joined my regiment and fought gallantly during the remainder of the day." This report went into history as the true facts of the conduct of this regiment. The historians of the war, sticking to Gen. TAYLOR's and Col. Jefferson DAVIS' reports, and totally ignoring the action of the Court of Inquiry, have placed a stigma upon Indiana which half a century of time has scarcely effaced. As an elucidation of the unfavorable character of the historians' comments, the writer hereof will be pardoned for the statement of a fact which all well informed people know to be correct, namely, that the writers of nearly all our school histories were residents of New England, a section which has always entertained a strong prejudice against the West, and Indiana in particular. Besides, another fact is well known, that New England has never been over loyal to the constituted authorities in any war which the United States has been engaged in, save one. I have recently interviewed four survivors of the battle of Buena Vista for the purpose of obtaining correct information concerning the part taken by the 2d Indiana regiment, namely, Capt. Isaac CAROTHERS, (then first sergeant of Capt. DAVIS' Co.), Judge A. B. CARLTON of the same company, now living in Terre Haute, Major James R. MULKY, then a private in Capt. SANDERSON's company of the 2d Indiana, and Gen. Lew WALLACE, who also belonged to the second regiment. These gentlemen all agree to the following facts: A few days before the battle Gen. TAYLOR's army numbering about 4500 men, nearly all volunteers, moved forward from Saltillo in the direction of San Luis Potosi. The army reached a small village about 25 miles from Saltillo, called Agua Nueva. Gen. TAYLOR having previously sent forward a small reconnoitering cavalry force under Majors GAINES and BOLAND. This force comprised about 60 men, Kentuckians and Arkansans. This force was surrounded at Encarnacion, by a vastly superior force, the advance guard of SANTA ANNA's army of 23,000 men; were captured and taken to the city of Mexico. One man (Capt. HENRIE) escaped from the Mexicans and brought the word to Gen. TAYLOR that the reconnoitering party had been captured. Capt. Ben. McCOLLOUGH, of the Texas Rangers, was dispatched to get definite information of the approach of SANTA ANNA. His company returned, and Gen. TAYLOR fell back and took position on the plateau of the village of Buena Vista, to the north of the pass of Angostura on the afternoon of the 21st of February. ===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: INLAWREN-L@rootsweb.com From: Diana S Flynn <diana937@juno.com> Subject: INDIANA IN THE MEXICAN WAR - PART 5 OF 6 On the 22nd Gen. TAYLOR disposed of his forces in the following manner: Col. McKEE's Kentucky regiment and Col. HARDIN's Illinois regiment were placed on the right wing supporting Washington's battery. Col. YELL's Arkansas cavalry, supporting SHERMAN's battery, was placed next the Kentuckians. Jack HAY's Texas Rangers occupied the center and somewhat to the rear, BRAGG's battery held the left of the center; while the Mississippi Rifles under Col. Jefferson DAVIS and the 3rd Indiana under Col. James H. LANE, with the 2nd Indiana was placed on the extreme left of the line supporting O'BRIEN's battery of only three guns. Two rifle companies of the 2nd Ind. and two of the 3rd Ind. under Major GORMAN, were placed on the mountains on the left of the 2nd Ind. The riflemen under GORMAN did gallant service by holding in check a very large force of Mexicans which climbed the mountains, to the left of the pass. A remarkable fact is stated by survivors of that battle that the 2nd Ind. was without any supporting force, either in their rear or on their right, nearer than 1,500 yard. Skirmishing took place on the evening of the 22nd. Early in the day of the 23rd SANTA ANNA's army came pouring through the pass and over the mountains and spread themselves over the plateau. The 2nd Ind. received the first onslaught of the attack, by a large force of infantry, about 8000 in number, and about 2000 cavalry (lanciers), two Mexican batteries, one on the left and one on the right, enfilading the second regiment. Notwithstanding this overwhelming disparity the regiment delivered 21 rounds before retreating, 35 men of the regiment having been killed. At this juncture Gen. Joe LANE, who was in immediate command of the regiment, undertook to move O'BRIEN's battery further to the right and front with the intention as he claimed of moving the regiment up to a point where it would be less exposed to the guns of the Mexican batteries. On LANE's departure, in charge of O'BRIEN's battery, and seeing that the men were being slaughtered, Col. BOWLES, who had been deprived by Gen. LANE of the command, but who chose to shoulder a musket and was actually fighting in the ranks, assumed command of his own accord and passed the word down the line to "cease firing and retreat." In the retreat and while passing near the 3rd Indiana and the Mississippi regiment quite a number rallied and joined those regiments. The others continued the retreat to the rear and rallied at the hacienda where they did excellent service in repelling an assault by the Mexican lanciers. O'BRIEN's battery, after the retreat, was captured by the Mexicans, his horses having been all killed. The most effective arm of the U. S. army in that battle was the three batteries of flying artillery of BRAGG, SHERMAN and WASHINGTON. Those batteries could be moved from point to point with great rapidity by horses attached. The Mexican batteries were hauled up to their positions with oxen. After being once planted in a chosen position they were not moved during the day. The battle raged nearly all day of the 23rd and during the night, SANTAT ANNA gathered his forces and material of war and retraced his steps toward San Luis Potosi, 200 miles from the battleground. I have been furnished with many interesting facts connected with the arduous and difficult service of the Indianians in the battle of Buena Vista by the survivors referred to, but want of space precludes any further comment. In conclusion I append hereto a single statement from Mr. Edward F. DICKEY, who was a member of the 3rd Indiana regiment. "As soon as the Mexicans gave way, the Third crossed the ravine and were joined by three or four pieces of artillery under Captain BRAGG, and perhaps WEBB or SHERMAN. I am not certain who had charge of the other guns, or whether there were three or four. The guns that were there engaged were the battery of 18-pounders at the foot of the mountain the Third Indiana being drawn up in line to protect our guns. This battery duel was kept up until the Mexican battery was silenced, and this was the end of the fight. It was then late in the afternoon. The general officers present during the cannonading were General WOOL and Gen. LANE, and then was the first time the Third Indiana Regiment saw General LANE that day. It is proper to say here that the weather was perfectly clear during the entire day, except for about half an hour when a cloud seemed to gather immediately over the field, and a gentle shower fell sufficient to dampen our clothing. This as I remember, occurred about the time of the truce. There was no growth of any kind on the table land to obstruct the view, and all parts of the field could be distinctly seen from any point of the general surface of the table land. =============================================

William Bowles that married Valencia Branch in 1802 is suppose to be a son of Thomas Phillip Bowles and Sarah Bacon. According to Branch researchers William and Valencia had a son named William about 1811.What I have found is that both William and Valencia were both married to someone else before they married in 1802. In the 1820 Barren Co census William and Valencia have a male born between 1776-1794 living with them. I'm thinking that William had children before he married Valencia and the William that married Elizabeth Montague is a grandson? Anyone like to comment?
